	  abstract     = {Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are produced from
sucrose by Aureobasidium pullulans in yields between 40-60%
(w/w). To increase the amount of FOS it is necessary to remove the
small, non-prebiotic sugars, present. Two methods for producing
high-purity FOS have been developed: the use of microorganisms
able to consume small saccharides; and the use of continuous
chromatography to separate sugars: simulated moving bed (SMB). It
is herein proposed the combination of both methods. The aim of this
study is to optimize the composition of the fermentative broth (in
terms of salts and sugars) that will be further purified by SMB. A
yield of 0.63 gFOS.gSucrose^-1 was obtained with A. pullulans using low
amounts of salts in the initial fermentative broth. By removing the
small sugars, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis
increased the percentage of FOS from around 56.0% to 83% (w/w) in
average, losing only 10% (w/w) of FOS during the recovery process.
